“Few summertime traditions are as sacred as stargazing. It connects us to something bigger than ourselves, it inspires a healthy dose of wonder and awe, it’s accessible to just about anyone with the ability to get outside and look skyward, and — with the exception of any park passes or camping fees — it’s free.

We asked Mary Stewart Adams, a star lore historian, host of The Storyteller’s Night Sky, and one of Michigan’s most ardent stargazers, for a few tips on how to make these starry summer nights truly shine.
